A few words
About Us
Who We Are
Our story starts way back in 2000 – in Port Loko District.
In 2000, the Work by Faith Development Association (WoFDA) was founded in Port Loko district by a compassionate group of Internally Displaced People. Port Loko district, nestled in the North Western part of Sierra Leone, West Africa, became the birthplace of our heartfelt mission.
From the very beginning, our association has nurtured a fervent dream: to offer an unwavering chance to the underprivileged children and adults, including those facing intellectual and physical challenges. Our primary goal is to unlock their boundless potential, embracing each individual with empathy and dedication.
WoFDA is a deeply compassionate, non-governmental, non-political advocacy organisation dedicated to reversing the unacceptable mistreatment of vulnerable children and adults in Sierra Leone.
Our organisation is strengthened by a team of advocates and professionals with extensive experience gained from both national and international humanitarian endeavours. These dedicated individuals believe in showering love upon the unloved, amplifying the voices of the voiceless, nurturing the skills of the unskilled and unemployed, and fostering greater awareness within vulnerable communities about health, environmental protection, sports, and human rights.
